re: My battle with covid

Bumping my previous question (a couple other posters asked it as well)... do you take any anabolic steroids or health supplements like creatine?
Edit: Nevermind. I see that you answered the question above. Rest up and take it easy! :cheers:...

You mentioned that you workout a lot. You don't happen to take steroids do you? I have heard that there may be a link between severity of COVID and steroid use in younger people... which is odd considering one of the treatments is a type of steroid.
Here is a case study on improved conditions fro...

:bow: Scruffy you have converted me over the past 2 weeks.
I think the miss on testing from the CDC will go down as one of the biggest blunders on a total dollars cost in US history. South Korea gave us the playbook that didn't include shutting down their economy, and we totally screwed it up. ...

Agreed DollaChoppa. I wouldn’t be surprised if the spread is 10 to 100 times current estimates with our limited testing.
I hope it’s true, but there are some data points that would suggest that isn’t the case. Nursing homes is the biggest one... if this has infected half the population you would ...

NY is probably the best statewide dataset at this point (lots of testing with a high number of cases with full reporting). They are showing around a 10% hospitalization rate with a case fatality rate at 0.7%.
There are two competing issues on the case fatality rate. On the one hand, fatalities w...

[quote]Something else interesting on this site is the number of how many are hospitalized.
We have about a 7% hospitalization rate which is lower than the 10-20% seen everywhere else. That’s one reason we haven’t gotten our asses kicked by this yet
